A further objectis' to" provide front and back garment patterns adapted to be juxtaposed in such manner that 'a shirt collar 'or'Peter Panic-ollar and "sleeve may be cut from the folded piece of materiaLthese collar details and-sleeve detail being an integral part o'f thefront and of the A further object is to provide a device of this character which will be formed of a 'few strong,

simple and durable parts, which 'w'ill'be inexpen-v tourlines tag-mans 15 defining thes'hape of one longitudinal half a sleeve.

As shown in Figure :3, the pattern marked Front is of the shape of one 'lon gitiidmai half or" the front of the dress and awn-1e sti'aight longitudinaleontour l'inesliB'an-d I at one s ide of the patterng the material of the pattern is removed between spaoedpoi-nts at the confrontin ends of the lines 16 and l and'at this"portion-the; pat tern is shaped to provid'e eoiitourl ine's 18, I9 and 2-6 definin-g tlie shape -of #the other longitudinal half'ofthe sleeve.

With the above and other objects inview, the.

invention consists of, certain novel details ofv construction and combinations of parts hereinafter fully describedand claimed, it being understood that various modifications may be resorted to within the scope of the appended claim with:

out departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages of the invention.

In the accompanying drawing forming a part of this specification:

Figure 1 is a front elevation of the front pattern and the back patternjuxtaposed along their longitudinal straight edges to provide a detail pattern for cutting out a sleeve.

Figure 2 is a view in elevation of the back pattern, rear side.

Figure 3 is a view in elevation of the front pattern, rear side.

Figure 4 is a front elevation of the .front' and back patterns juxtaposed in such a manner that confronting ends of the lines u and 112 and at this portion the pattern is shaped to provide con- By referring to Figure 1,it can be seen-that when the longitudinal contour "lines "ii-i5, I 2 1 of the back and f'ren't patterns are juxtaposed"; that is; placedin abutting contact with each etherftwoblaiiks of fabric '-material',*or a folded blank, having the same sides facing each other 'tha t'is; the right side facing the rightside, or the wrong"side facingthe wron side, may be placed with the edges at either end of the sleeve defining pattern; such as along the lines !3l ll 7 or J along'the'lower ends of the lines 52 8', and? thenthe-faibric materialnraybe out along the sleeve defining contourlines l3, M, 15, '2'0, 1 9 and [3 to cut two complete sleeves in a single operation." w Insome instances whereft'hesleeve' is onlyto' be one half nerma'l sleeve length; the contour lines at the wrist portionof the sleeve, indicated by the lines l3-l8, may be located at the dotted line position, shown at 2|, in Figure 1.

To formthe back of the dress from the pattern marked Back the dress material is folded upon itself and thefolded edge is placed to coincide with the straight contour lines H and I2. Then the material may be out alon the neck contour line 22, shoulder seam line 23, arm hole line 24,

waist line 25, skirt line 26 and skirt bottom hem material may be folded upon itself and the folded edge placed to coincide with the straight contour lines I6 and I1. Then the material may be out along the neck contour line 28, shoulder seam line 29, arm hole line 30, waist line 3|, skirt line 32, and bottom hem line 33 of the skirt.

The dotted guide lines 34 and 35 on the pattern marked Back'and dotted guide lines 36 and 31 on the pattern marked Front permit chalk lines being drawn on the material along which the material may be cut to form a builtup shoulder slip. To draw a corset cover on the material, dotted guide lines 38 and 39 are formed transversely of the waist portion of the backand front patterns. These are only a few of the many articles which may be made by the patterns.

To draw conventional darts on the material, punched holes 40 are formed in the back and front patterns at the waist line and are connected by .dotted guide lines. A punched hole 4| is formed in the front pattern from which guide lines 42 extend to the shoulder contour line 29, to draw a dart on the material at the shoulder of the front of the garment.

.To draw a Peter Pan collar" on the material, the front and back patterns are arranged as shown in Figure 4, that is, are placed to diverge from each otherwith the shoulder contour lines 23 and 29 disposed in abutting contact with each other and the neck contour lines 22 and 2 8 dis posed to form a continuation of each other. a the back pattern, punched openings43 are formed and in the front pattern punched openings 44 are formed. An arcuate dotted guide line 45 extends throughthe openings A3, and an arcuate dotted guide line 46 extends through the openings 44. These lines indicate the out to be formed in the material. l

To cut out a Peter Pan collar. from the material when lthefront and back patternsare arranged as shown in Figure 4, the material is folded upon itself; and the folded edge is disposed to coincide .with the contour line .I l, which indicates the middle of the collar. Then thematerial is out along To cut out the shirt collarfrorngthe material, the material'is folded upon itself andthe folded edge arranged to coincide. with the straight contour line ll which indicates the middle of the collar. Then the materialis cutalongchalk lines punchedholesi i! asaguide. )q

,.To formal collar of a di erent type, as best shown in Figure l, a punched opening 49 is formed. in the back pattern and d'ash guide lines 50 extend throughthe .openingat an angle to traced on the material using the lines 48 and the each other. The end of one line is at the straight contour line II and the end of the other line is at the shoulder contour line 23. To cut out the collar from the material, the material is folded upon itself and the folded edge is arranged along the straight contour line II which indicates the middle of the collar. Then the material is out along chalk lines traced on the material using the lines 50, opening 49, contour line 23, openings 43 and line 45 as a guide.

Since the operation of cutting the material according to the patterns has been described as the description of the patterns progressed, it is thought the invention will be fully understood without. further explanation.

What is claimed is: "A multiplex garment pattern comprising two patterns, one pattern having a contour correbe arranged inabutting .contact w ith each other to assemble the sleeve contoursto form a complete sleeve pattern, the i rstnamed pattern having a contour at the upper portion corresponding of which are at the straight. contour line-ll.
